TEACHER, BOOK AND COMPANION: THE ENVIRONMENT IN SHONA CHILDRENâ€™S LITERATURE

Contemporary society has had running battles with citizens, trying to force them to be aware and appreciative of the importance of relating well with, and also safeguarding the environment. Modern ways of child socialisation seem in mentoring youngsters about the being, nature and significance of the environment (both natural and social) in life. Today, society it has largely become the duty of non-governmental organisations and law enforcement agents to educate and safeguard against the abuse of the social environment and the degradation, pollution and extinction of crucial facets of the natural environment. Using the Afrocentricity theory, the article explicates the position of the environment in Shona childrenâ€™s oral literature (folktales, songs, riddles and taboos), showing that it was presented, viewed and taken as a teacher, book and close companion whose welfare was to be guarded jealously. The article advocates the adoption and adaptation of African ways of child socialisation, which subtly but effectively build a positive and healthy relationship between people and their environment.

Village Organization

Awig-awig ‘customary law’ is a written rule which is used to manage customary village organization in Bali. This customary law has a very important role in maintaining the environment in terms of natural environment (palemahan), social environment (pawongan), and spiritual environment (parhyangan). Therefore, every awig-awig made should be based on Tri Hita Karana (THK) concept. The THK is defined as ‘three causes of happiness and prosperity’. In this study, THK is considered as an ecosophy used to judge the existence of lexical items, grammatical contructs, and other linguistic features used in the awig-awig text. In critical discourse, the exisistence of any texts is considered to bring underlying power and ideology. Thus, the written text of the awig-awig belongs to Tenganan Pegringsingan village reveals the form of power fight and ideology. Therefore, this present study was aimed at finding the influence of the power domination and ideology revealed in the awig-awig text. By applying a critical discourse analysis, it was found the influence of the power domination depicted by the use of modality kawasa and wenang ‘may/can’. Most of the linguistic features used in the awig-awig text bring preservative ideologies that need to be promoted. However, in a small part of the linguistic features used in the text, especially in the social environment, implies destructive ideologies, such as marginalization and patriarchal that need to be resisted.

Definite Period

The article examines the problems of the diverse infl uence of environmental elements, in which different forms of local art developed. The concept of the environment in the research is interpreted in all the aspects of the term. The infl uence of the social environment, national characteristics, the natural environment, the importance of aesthetic and historical interpretation, emotional and cognitive perception are analyzed in detail, as well as the parallel process of separating of canonized styles into national currents. It is emphasized here that the determining factor of merging of a certain mass of artistic phenomena into one whole is, first, the spiritual unity against which culture arises. A peculiarity of the proposed form of analysis is to consider this influence not at the definite period time, but in the dynamic context of historical changes under the influence of different factors.

Shifting Attention

The Lippmann-Dewey debate might have gone better had Dewey appealed to his evolutionary epistemology, according to which human intelligence evolved in such a way as to allow it to predict the outcomes of our interactions with the natural environment. This would have allowed Lippmann to suggest that the modern social environment is less predictable than the natural environment, shifting attention to his tacit social ontology. Insofar as the social environment is determined by human action, action by interpretation, and interpretation by ideas; and insofar as ideas are heterogeneous, non-random, and inaccessible to observation, as Lippmann held; it follows that technocrats may be unable to predict behavior reliably. Consider, in comparison, intellectual historians’ interpretations of the behavior of well-documented individuals: such interpretations are much easier to get right then are predictions of the behavior of anonymous others in the future, predictions of the sort that technocrats must produce. Yet intellectual historians inevitably disagree among one another, entailing that some or all of their interpretations are wrong.

Tri Hita Karana (THK) is a philosophy of life that has taken root in Hindu society in Bali. Tri Hita Karana means three causes of happiness that are created from the harmonious relationship between humans and the natural environment (Palemahan), humans and the social environment of society (pawongan), humans and the spiritual / God environment (Parhayangan). One effort to implement the Tri Hita Karana concept in the field of tourism is through annual competition and accreditation of eco-friendly tourism in the perspective of the Tri Hita Karana tourism Awards and Accreditations-THK Awards that have been held since 2000. The role of an architect in realizing Tri Hita Karana tourism Awards and Accreditations is needed especially in realizing two of the three aspects of the Tri Hita Karana tourism Awards and Accreditations, namely planning and building a villa residence. Knowledge, experience and professionalism of an architect is very much needed in translating an idea and desire of the owner and implementing oneself in the use of the environment and socio-culture of the local community, so that the design is comfortable, safe, energy efficient, economical and environmentally friendly. An architect must play a role and have a strategy to realize and apply the concepts that already exist in Bali to the fullest, so that Bali's viability can still be maintained.. Tri Hita Karana (THK) merupakan filosofi hidup yang telah berakar di masyarakat Hindu di Bali. Tri Hita Karana berarti tiga penyebab kebahagiaan yang tercipta dari hubungan harmonis antara manusia dan lingkungan alam (Palemahan), manusia dan lingkungan sosial masyarakat (pawongan), manusia dan lingkungan spiritual/Tuhan (Parhayangan). Salah satu upaya implementasi konsep Tri Hita Karana dalam bidang pariwisata adalah melalui kompetisi dan akreditasi tahunan pariwisata ramah lingkungan dalam perspektif Tri Hita Karana tourism Awards and Accreditations-THK Awards yang telah dilaksanakan sejak tahun 2000. Peran seorang arsitek dalam mewujudkan Tri Hita Karana tourism Awards and Accreditations sangat diperlukan terutama dalam mewujudkan dua dari 3 aspek Tri Hita Karana tourism Awards and Accreditations yaitu perencanaan dan pembangunan sebuah hunian villa. Pengetahuan, pengalaman dan sikap profesionalisme seorang arsitek sangat dibutuhkan didalam menterjemahkan sebuah ide dan keinginan dari owner dan mengimplementasikan diri dalam pemanfaatan lingkungan dan sosial budaya masyarakat setempat, sehingga terwujud rancangan yang nyaman,aman, hemat energi, ekonomis serta ramah lingkungan. Seorang arsitek harus berperan dan mempunyai strategi untuk mewujudkan dan menerapkan konsep-konsep yang telah ada di Bali secara maksimal, sehingga keajegan Bali masih bisa dipertahankan.

English Speaking

The philosophy of nature is at least as old as the presocratics, but has undergone comparative neglect in philosophical circles this century until recently, at least in English-speaking lands. The philosophy of science concentrates on scientific concepts and methods and the interpretation of scientific theories, rather than on the concept of nature itself, while, with significant exceptions (e.g., Hepburn, 1984), aesthetics focuses on the experience of art rather than on that of nature. Meanwhile moral, political and social philosophy has focused on the social environment, but the natural environment has often been lost to view. Indeed it has been argued, with some cogency, that mainstream Western metaphysics, epistemology and ethics have historically been inhospitable to conservation, to environmentalism and to their values (see Hargrove, 1989; Attfield, 1994a).
